Operator; well could you help me place this call?
See the number on the matchbook is old and faded.
She's living in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend Ray (or Greg...?).
The guy she said she knew well, and sometimes hated.
CHORUS
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well let's forget all that.
And give me the number if you can find it,
So I can call, just to tell 'em I'm fine,
And to shooow-u-oh,
I've overcome the blow,
I've learned to take it well,
I only wish my words
Could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real.
But that's not the way it feels.
Operator; well could you help me place this call?
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me.
There's something in my eyes;
You know it happens every time;
To think about a love
That I thought would save me.
CHORUS
No, no no no;
That's not the way it feels...
Operator; well let's forget about this call.
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to.
Thank-you for your time;
Oh, you have so much more than kind;
You can keep the dine.
CHORUS

Operador , podria usted ayudarme hacer
una llamada
usted ve el numero sobre la vieja y descoloridad caja de
fosforos. Ella vive en los Angeles con mi mejor viejo amigo Ray
un tipo me dijo que ella lo conocia muy bien y a veces lo habia
odiado
No es el camino en que ellos dicen que
van
pero les permite olvidar todo eso
y déme el numero si tu puedes encontrarlo
asi que yo puedo llamarlo para mostrarme que estoy bien
ya he superado el golpee
ya he aprendido a tomarlo mejor
yo solo deseo que mis palabras puedan convencerme a mi a mi
mismo pero eso no es la manera como se siente.
Perador podria usted ayudarme en esta llamada
porque yo no puedo leer el numero que usted recien medio
hay algo en mis ojos
usted sabe que sucede cada vez que
yo pienso en el amor que me salvaria
no es el camino que ellos dicen que van
no no no
ese no es el camino del sentimiento
bien poerador te invito a olvidar esta llamada
aquí no hay nadie con quien yo realmente pueda hablar
gracias por su tiempo
usted tiene mucho mas que pensar
tu puedes guardar la moveda de 25 centavos
